Speaking to the Sunderland Echo, he added: “We did come back strongly against Bournemouth and win, and it was a pleasure to win against them.
“From our side, when you don’t win you obviously lose confidence. But we have won our first game, and we are now looking forward to winning more.

“Hopefully Bournemouth will be the start of our season and we will do everything we can to make that so.

“I think it’s definitely changed [the mood] in the sense that you do feel a little bit more confident.

“Every day in training, people try to give their best and I really hope we will be able to win against Hull.”
